In the Beginning…
Major TV networks are airing an updated Cosmos
series hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson.
While the computer generated images and photography are imaginative and
to some degree inspiring, it’s just the same old story in a new package. The first program in the series has the line,
“the cosmos is all that is, was and ever will be.” This offers a stark contrast to the opening
sentence in Genesis 1 of the Bible, “In the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth.” So do you accept the
Cosmos view that time and unknown forces created all that we see over billions
of years with life resulting from randomly occurring mutations that somehow
began with amino acids evolving from non-living materials? Or do you believe that an all-powerful God
spoke all of creation into existence through the agency of One described as the
Logos
(Word) in the Gospel of John that we know as Jesus? Either choice involves a decision of faith -
more to follow in the coming weeks.
